 Hello everybody. Okay. This is now working. I also prepared a stack of slides First of all, I I got the question before where do I press what is this? Okay this one. No the other one It's this is forward. Okay. This First of all, I got the question. Are you a tech guy because on the On on the on the announcement. There was something with finance. Yes, I do finance and controlling But usually I do tech in finance and controlling. Yeah So I studied computer science. It's a long time ago, and I studied Japanese studies. So I'm Quite an Asia fan. I have been to Asia along during my childhood nearly every year and What I'm also doing is doing in tech now. I'm a hyper ledger governing board member as we joined hyper ledger and then there came the question who wants to do it and I showed it and I said I want to do it and I'm doing also blockchain enablement. So a lot of the things of the project you see comes from my department or different departments where we try to Leverage the potential that we have there and now I'm very proud And that I actually do it because for nine years since I joined the company I was talking about free and open source and I wanted that we leverage it more and more and now actually we have a Big project going on where we want to do a lot more in this and we have a strategy That we want to set up to even use that a potential more and I'm very proud of that Because I also was one of the guys who was always telling this and now I'm also Have the task of actually doing it and this makes me even more proud And my last job is I'm also a model So if you go to the website and want to apply for a job for instance, and then you might also find my my picture there But I tell you it doesn't pay well So a long time ago this guy said I believe in horses automobiles and the passing are passing phenomenon This guy wasn't right We now have quite a big company already We have 280,000 employees We are going from one record year to another one and Sometimes it's unbelievable how how good the growth is and how much we are doing with that But it's not only about the car anymore So we have a new ecosystem and we have Lado here who's the head of case case stands for connected autonomous shared or services and Electric and this is our new strategy in terms of building new cars But we also built Logistic solutions so trucks or vans and We have mobility solutions as a as a third option where you can engage So also this guy said I think there's a world market for maybe five computers It was Thomas Watson the head of IBM and Now I'm a little bit curious why actually if Thomas did this kind of predictions why they named Their AI also Watson. I hope it doesn't make this kind of predictions So cars in the beginning were 100% mechanical hardware This has zero lines of code. The only code there were wordless. This plans that the guy Here draw It went 1885 into production and 1886 it came out the What I found quite interesting is that a lot of the hardware that were built in and the functionality or The way how the motor was built is still in today's cars and still into states mode today's motors still prevalent so It has zero flops needless to say it doesn't have a CPU in it so 100 years later In the in the development of cars We made already quite an advancement and using this kind of technology at this time I really was quite happy that I found this kind of video You can see that we were simulating and using computers to build things and to build cars and even make it even better and also Interesting thing is that At that time we started also to build in small computer chips in terms of Engines steering and so on into the into the systems into the cars So this was the very small event of the first cars with first computerized cars I don't know how much drops they had. Yeah, at least it weren't giga anything and Even nowadays you can buy chip hacking to get more out of your car and it's just Doing something with the software You have to be careful it will also void your warranty usually Right, but if you look at the at the new cars that come out You quite see that there's a different feel to it. Yeah, it's actually a software masterpiece We have a lot of different systems in there and with a new a-class. We also brought out a new Interface and it's called MBU x and King is back Hi Mercedes. Yes, please. I want some German bread. Please select an entry. I Am a say this too hot in here. Can you make it more East Coast? I am setting the temperature to 62 degrees Why is there a wedding chapel in your suggestions Hi Mercedes, never get me to walk free word drive single beat Hi Mercedes, where did Jeff drivers last night tattoo shop Las Vegas So you can see this quite shifted it and I got out the key facts of this of the system And it's only a front-end system. It has two GPUs in terms when it's used It's it's depending on the on the power that we need. Yeah, it has eight gigabyte of RAM and 500 gigaflops in the operating system is Linux So you can see that's quite a shift and it's only the front-end computer We have all safety relevant parts that are different. We have to think about that as well Yeah, it has machine learning in it to also know your habits a little bit more and to give you the right Suggestions where you should drive or if you always try to work and it will already if you get in will set you a Goal where you can go? Yeah So actually with this front-end and then several other parts a car for me I'm a computer scientist is merely a server cluster on wheels So I asked myself what do engineers and software engineers actually do have in common and one of our founders here Gottlieb Daimler said the best on nothing and I Actually what was quite hard to find the right quote of Lino's tour was because usually there are more deflamatory and Work on this code is not so good But I didn't want to get it on the slides because I was afraid I won't bring it through the to the clearance process. Yeah, if I have get the crap out of my sight something on this on the slide, yeah but The thing is what what was really really important is that they have one thing in common and it's the will of making something really the best and The best means is different in every eyes I had a talk with somebody else here who said doing design and The best for the engineers is not always the best for the user Yeah, and this is the same it stays true with cars Yeah, sometimes the engineers get so over over pace But I want to do this and this and then it's something else that somebody cannot use anymore Yeah, and we have to also think about that So what we are doing what we did last like yes last year was this slide on it We joined a Linux foundation. We also are kind of in the eclipse foundation. We joined automotive grade Linux and hyper ledger where I'm also sitting in and We went to the first Asia and this year We are again at the first Asia What happened in between a lot of groundwork from a lot of people who are telling we have to do more And now I'm quite proud that we have Jan Brecht, which is the boss of the IT in general is the CIO of Daimler has brought this To his attention and not only his attention, but there's also a project going on for R&D and IT and legal and compliance guys So he said one of his three top priorities is free and open source software. The others were cloud and DevOps so to strengthen the delivery model and the next one is Indirect to direct so bringing people more Closer to the code again and because we have a history of doing a lot of management But management who won't produce you any product if you don't have the guys who produce the product And so this is the three priorities. It's it's also public So why why? Actually the question so what can we learn as Daimler from the open source community? so what I think is Open source and and the standard or the way how the open source community work is One of the major things that has been now said to the standard actually of software development And we could use that and we should learn from that so the the whole idea of Forking something. Yeah, just taking it away not having it under control Then patching or doing whatever you want with it and if you deem it good then put in a pull request and somebody merges it and Hopefully merges it or it says Go away with the scrap like Linus does it sometimes But this kind of working actually set a new standard of also distributed working model this has not been possible before and As always in all industries are a lot Ideas about how to reduce in cost and bringing the work Distributing the the work all over the world. This means that this is now possible Also speed of innovation if you have Something under tight control and tell people you have to innovate. This is how you innovate Then people won't be as creative as if you won't do it Yeah, and if you give somebody the chance I take that Co-create build something completely new out of it again, and maybe something completely new and Something which never has been there before like blockchain or other technologies come out of it Then we created something which can help to alleviate Some others so this is the speed of innovation and the third part is a community so working together as a community and Collibrating and the way of talking to each other and also looking at the different Posts and and things everybody does and giving kudos to somebody or saying this this was really good And having a active discussion about the topic. This is also quite one of the things that we can learn Also one of the things that I want to stress out what we shouldn't learn is sometimes The way how the open source community Strives on egocentricity So sometimes It is not any more about the product about the part which is in the software It's more about I said so and so it has to be like this and if people are on the front fight Then usually something happens. It's a hard fork and I don't think that usually it helps anybody Yeah so We are or I'm also developing a lot of things in blockchain and I I Think there's an analogy here because the blockchain means also that you have to collaborate It's impossible to not collaborate or else you don't get the point of blockchain So you have to have an ecosystem where you build something together and we started the last year We had I think a talk about blockchain here where we showed some pilot use cases that we did and During the year I had some more so we did the first public blockchain hackathon in Stuttgart Which was quite insightful And a lot of different ideas in there. So this is also a Quite a form how we how we engage in that even more. Yeah, so we get people from outside in Bringing ideas and elaborating on that and I can tell you we didn't have any rules on that one too That the IP is belongs to us after that. Yeah, so this was quite a Discussion at some point but in the end we made it like this and We have another thing here. We have a green driving experiment going on currently We are trying to incentivize how people drive and change over that behavior and this is backed up by a cryptocurrency And the standard token in behind and the greener you drive the more of those tokens you get At the moment you cannot spend them at all. It's just a test, but so where can we go with it? So there's also a Thing I wanted to mention we are engaging in that in a very long time So there has been a project which is focused on analyzing crash data Because that is for everybody. It's a good thing and it's called open MDM and open pass So so this is this are the building blocks in our journey and this is also kind of how the project is currently structured We have first of all we have to ensure in compliance. This is sure there are a lot of different licenses and too much license and actually outside and If you engage in some product or programming and you have to check which license can I use and which license can I not use? It's quite difficult and but we have to ensure the compliance or else we have lawyers against stepping in and you don't want liars messing around with your code So first of all we want to adapt the the collaboration model which is in a source We want to adapt it more and more inside the company and I'm quite happy that we have now Also set up a rule set at least an IT that we have to share all our source code This is quite new We want to encourage the usage and even foster more and use and iterate upon the open source But it's presumptuous to to think that you can just take all the time you also have to give something so we want to make it possible to engage in communities even more by money by resources by ideas and so on And we even want to foster open source contribution Which is believe me quite hard if you legally speaking So also I yeah, I don't think that I mean if I come here or if we come here and Explain something about open source People might think yeah, then tomorrow you are there. Yeah, you will do everything But you have to remember it is a company of 280,000 people Yeah, and it's not changing as fast and not everybody has the same idea. So we need the right foundations. We read the night Leverage also we need also the right people behind it because also if I talk We want to do this give this kind of software to the open then somebody in the legal department will ask me Oh, are we not giving that away? And how do we do with a Texas and so on and that is actually is a quite hard question in a certain sense because we Have to at least clear it and in a big company. You always have a specialist for this kind of questions So what I'm doing is I'm talking to a lot of different specialists at the moment But it will lead to that that if we have a good foundation We can also have a top later on. So in the end I think what I want to Give you an offer is that I would like you to join also the way and I would like us to drive together to this new path and To the future. Thank you, Jonas. I have a question for you So you have mentioned about the green driving and we'll be getting rewards for that. Yes, what can we use those rewards? At the moment as we are just testing it internally with 500 employees, you can win something you can win for instance a tennis Match or you can win? Going to the Berlin fashion show Or DTM race But the second step after we have like this to it's an MVP so a minimum viable product Yeah, not a maximum viable product After this two months, we will see how we proceed further because we are collecting data and see what it can be used for But the idea is to expand. Yeah, the idea is really cool. Thank you so much, Jonas
